Re: Buick posi I.D.
Yes a spacer may work with the rear...BUT we need to make a spacer as I do not know if one exsists. I think if you can get your hands on a pontiac old 57-64 drop out ring gear spacer the metal ring may fit and may only need a redrill over sized of the bolt holes IF they are not big enough. Longer le...

Re: '65 GS Posi Upgrade
Oh and do not assume they axle shaft press on diameter is also larger as they make MANY differet sealed bearings ...1.382 is the standard for most pontiac buick and olds 8.2 rears. So hang tight keep measuring and I will call.

Re: '65 GS Posi Upgrade
The seal metal all needs to come out. Just hit it on one side crushing it them pick it out. The metal is quite thin and will distort easy. You will need to replace them any way. 8594s seal...fairly common. The 65 should have normal RW507CR bearings UNLESS you have a WAGON rear. I do not think GS had...

Re: 66 Pontiac Grand Prix 12 bolt posi

Re: '65-'67 Olds rears
I would say a very small amount were 4 pinion posi unit in 67 as the 12 bolt olds rear was introduced in that year in the USA cars for the w-30 etc. so I would say only the first half of the year and MAYBE canadian cars got them. Jim (That is a guess-ti-mation) I am assembling a T# 67 68 rear right ...

Re: '65 GS Posi Upgrade
Joe, Are you saying the bearings themselves are a different diameter? WAs this rear assebled when you received/bought it? They appear to be the same as they have sealed bearings on the axle shafts and that would be correct for the early housing you have. One bearing looks to have been replaced and t...

Re: Help with casting number 393820
OLDSMOBILE 12 bolt 'O' type. Not chevy 12 bolt. Going to be pretty expensive for parts and is basically a 10 bolt rear...A bigger 10 bolt rear but still 10 bolt. Jim As for staying with it or the ten bolt??? The 10 bolt will be cheaper to build and if you are just street bound will more than do the ...

Re: Help with casting number 393820
Pictures will be MOST helpful. From your descriptive parts and numbers I am going to say you have a OLDS 12 bolt rear and is NOT a try 12 bolt rear and will require gobs of money to rebuild. The carrier ring gear bolt count is 10 bolt not 12 bolt as a chevy 12 bolt which actually matches the cover b...
